“Primrose House strikes me as a particularly well-situated base in St Ives, moments from Porthminster Beach, with uniquely decorated rooms and views across the harbor. Breakfast is a real highlight, focusing on fresh Cornish produce and homemade treats; I appreciate the extra touches like complimentary snacks. It's a charming spot clearly run by people who care.”
